Email Threats in a Web 2.0 World Email threats are fundamentally different today than they were only a short time ago. Malicious threats used to be concealed in attachments, but today 85 percent of unwanted emails contain a link to a Web site*. While cybercriminals have turned to the Web to deliver spyware, phishing attacks, and viruses in order to infiltrate networks and steal data, they are using email to lure users into their traps. Increasingly these traps use the power of Web 2.0 by means of social networking sites, blogs, and familiar, trusted sites with good reputations that have been compromised. While they are now commonly used, these engineered attacks are very targeted and difficult to detect by traditional techniques. Cybercriminals often send very small messages with links to seemingly legitimate Web sites that slip by most spam and malware defenses. Reactive, signature-based approaches and reliance on sender reputation are not enough to protect end-users from these malicious attacks.. We chose Websense Email Security because of its phenomenal granular policy enforcement capabilities that clearly outshine other solutions on the market. Jay Wessel, VP of technology, Boston Celtics The use of the Web in spam attacks continues to grow. The Proliferation of Data Leaks via Email Preventing loss of information is one of the top challenges that many businesses face today, and managing data leaks via email is of high concern. With the vast majority of data now digitized and readily available via corporate networks, it is all too easy for employees to intentionally or accidentally send inappropriate content or data to places it doesn t belong. Insufficient outbound protection can result in legal liability, damage to a company s reputation, and violation of compliance regulations. * Websense Security Labs Threat Report, July 2008
